Insignificance

What if we are meant for more? What if our lives are more than just OUR lives? Maybe we are meant to change the world, one life, or even literally be the hands, feet, lips, minds of something bigger than just ourselves. 

   Today, I had a moment of realization. I am insignificant but, at the same time my life holds significance. Allow me to explain. I am one person, one tiny person in a world of more than 7 billion other people who may or may not realize their own significance. As one single person I cannot be expected to make a difference on my own. Yes, we are constantly told that one person can make a difference but, in reality it takes so much more. I do not write this to be discouraging rather, I write it to express an idea. As one person you interact with other people, people who also have a voice, an opinion, and some sort of desire. Those people interact with other people and so on and so forth. In order to accomplish anything one must have the idea to react. In order to have that idea they must read, hear or see something that inspires them. This is where others first appear. In order for me to have the desire to write this post I had to see a movie, written, directed and produced by someone, that gave me an idea. Indirectly all of these people, that I do not know, are responsible for this post. So, after we have this grand idea we must have support, we must have followers who believe in our cause. That means we are never completely responsible for any accomplishment, it takes many insignificant lives to make a significant difference. I say that I am insignificant because I could not do anything without the help or inspiration from others and then again with their support. 

   Now that I have bared the entire contents of my brain for the evening, I would like to discuss this thought process in terms of service to God and our walk with God. God created us to do his will. He did not create us to live life for our own personal gain. We are here, on Earth, to help each other and to do all things through and for Christ. I do not pretend for one second that I am not a selfish human being who does things for the benefit of me and only me sometimes but, I will say that I try my hardest to do things in the name of God because, after all, He is why I am here right? We would not know what to do or how to act without an example, Jesus Christ. He was brought down from heaven to plant a seed in our minds and show us that life is so much more than just living for ourselves. He died for us...DIED. He cannot be where the line ends. We are here to be the arms, legs, lips, and minds of God. We are here to show others Gods LOVE. Showing his love is not that hard and I can almost guarantee you that if you show someone love in God's name that they will be happier and more likely to share His love with someone else. The chain is never ending, if we do everything we can to love people the way God loves us...unconditionally. 

    I do not pretend for one second to be perfect but, I do love. I love with all my heart because God loves me with all of His heart and He doesn't have to. What if we loved everyone? What if the "more" that we are meant for is love? What if we can help one person or the whole world just by loving?
